Chapter 598: Guan Yu admits his mistake

"Just, just let them go away? It's really unwilling. Seeing Guan Yu's army swaggering away, King Mulu was very annoyed in his heart, but looking at the dejected appearance of those beast soldiers under his command one by one, he was also very helpless.

Although he is the chief general in the army, the generals under his command are the leaders of small tribes, and the sergeants are all the tribes of their small tribes, and every time they lose one, their tribe will lose a point of strength, especially in this situation, knowing that if they continue to fight, they will not only not get benefits, but may lose their lives, so no one stands up to stop Guan Yu's army from retreating.

"This battle is here for the time being, no matter what, Guan Yu led the army to retreat, which shows the deterrent power of our army, the other party flees without a fight, and the morale will inevitably be frustrated, which can be regarded as a severe defeat to the enemy's spirit and a heavy blow to their arrogance."

King Mulu could only comfort himself in this way, and then wrote in the good news to Meng Shu: "In today's battle, our army fought against Guan Yu's army, and the thieves suffered heavy losses under the blow of our army, their morale was seriously frustrated, and the army's morale was shaken. This battle greatly boosted the morale of our army and dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Han army, and it will surely shine in history in ......the future."

When the good news reached Meng Huo, Meng Huo was extremely happy and laughed loudly; "I knew that our army would win this battle, haha, Guan Yu Pifu, in vain the courage of blood, came mightily, retreated in embarrassment, it is really happy, presumably after this battle, the Han army's heart is shaken, and it will be two or three months later if they want to attack our army again. Pass my order, the king of Mulu has a meritorious service in retreating from the enemy, and there are many rewards, rewarding him with 10,000 taels of gold, 10,000 horses of Shu brocade, and 100,000 horses of silk......"

Anyway, the inventory in the warehouse was brought by Liu Chan from Chengdu, and Meng Yu was not distressed at all, and took it out directly from the library and gave it to King Mulu last time, in order to encourage King Mulu to continue to resist the enemy.

At this time, Guan Yu was depressed, and led the army to the foot of the mountain in despair, set up camp, and quietly waited for the arrival of Liu He's army.

The next day, Liu He led the army to arrive, and when he saw Guan Yu's camp lined up and heavily guarded, he immediately praised it, and said with a smile: "General Guan was able to obey my arrangement this time and not launch an attack without authorization, such a move is really gratifying." ”

However, Guan Yu was blushing, and bowed to Liu He with a guilty face and said: "So that the king can know that the truth of this battle is not as the king imagined, the last general actually did not obey the king's orders at the beginning, and waited for the king here, but led the troops to fight without authorization, and as a result, he was defeated by the king of Mulu in the mountainside of the racetrack, and the last general did not obey the military order, resulting in this defeat, which not only betrayed the trust of the king, but also frustrated the morale of our army, this crime is not small, and please punish the king, no matter what punishment, the last general has no complaints." ”

"Huh?" Hearing Guan Yu's words, Liu He's face suddenly sank, and then asked, "What's going on?" Yu Zhongxiang, tell me about it. ”

"No!" Yu looked at Guan Yu, and then sighed softly: "As General Guan said, in this battle, General Guan was eager to win, did not obey the lord's law, and led the army to attack without authorization, and was frustrated in Happy Valley, but at the critical moment, General Guan led his soldiers to retreat calmly, and he was even more personally behind, our army only lost more than ten people, and was injured less than 100 people, which is also a miracle in military history, so in the eyes of the lower officials, although General Guan has had, it is not useless, and the lord is also asked to dispose of it at his discretion." ”

"Oh? It turned out to be the case, but more than ten people were lost, which could have been avoided for us, because of your decision-making mistakes, our army lost more than ten excellent soldiers in vain, these are all young lives, they should have killed the enemy on another battlefield and made meritorious contributions, seeking wealth and nobility, maybe in the future they can also get the honor of being a marquis and worshipping a general because of their meritorious service, but now they can only become a cold corpse, there is nothing, General Guan, you can tell me, what face do you have to meet their families in the future? ”

"Alas, all this is the fault of the last general......" Hearing Liu He's words, Guan Yu couldn't help but sigh deeply, he is a general who loves soldiers like a son, and he is full of deep self-blame for the death of these soldiers, the expression on his face is very ashamed, and there is a trace of pain.

At this time, Liu He snorted and said loudly to everyone: "It must be known that the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and the war is sometimes a last resort, the purpose of our battle is not only to make meritorious contributions, but also for the safety of the society and the prosperity of the people, and every battle is the result of the desperate struggle of many soldiers, all say that thousands of troops are easy to get, and one general is difficult to find, this sentence is actually wrong, good generals are valuable, but if there are no sergeants, only rely on good generals individually, how can they achieve victory?" Therefore, we must also attach importance to the safety of our soldiers, and we must not give up any soldier lightly at any time, and we ask you to keep this in mind that the protection of oneself is the first priority in combat. ”

When everyone around heard this, they all looked solemn and respectfully agreed, Guan Yu broke out in a cold sweat, and at the same time deeply admired Liu He's words, because these words showed how broad the other party's mind was, and an ordinary sergeant could be so valued, so it is estimated that the soldiers will serve him more desperately in the future.

Then I saw Liu He loudly announced: "There is a general Guan Yu, do not listen to my moderation, and lead the army to attack without authorization, resulting in a lot of losses to our army, more than ten soldiers were killed, it is really distressing, and it should be punished heavily, but when encountering defeat, Guan Yu was able to deal with it calmly, and personally led the army to the rear of the palace, so that our army retreated safely with extremely small losses, which is really commendable and should be rewarded, but because of the mistake first, the merits and demerits are offset, and the crime is not punished, nor rewarded, I hope you will take this as a lesson and respect life, Love soldiers like children, there must be no such thing as not listening to the dispatch, otherwise, they will be severely punished! ”

"Alas, thank you for being so generous, even if the last general is broken, it is difficult to repay the king's kindness in case, all the previous things are caused by the last general's too arrogant and willful, but please believe that from now on, the last general will never have a similar thing happen, if the last general dares to disobey the king's military orders again, he will not work for the king, he will directly wipe his neck, and give this head to the king."

Guan Yu saluted Liu He respectfully and said with a serious face.

Liu He hurriedly helped Guan Yu up, and said with a look of relief: "Okay, people are not sages, who can be without fault, and can change after that, good is great, General Guan can change when he knows his mistakes, I believe that soon, there will be a famous general under my command, this is not just Xiao Wang's luck?" It's even more fortunate for the world's society. ”
